''What starts as a summer vacation in the tropical [[Alola]] [[Regions|region]] turns into the next exciting chapter in Ash Ketchum's quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]! There's plenty for Ash and Pikachu to explore in this sunny new region, with exciting new [[Pokémon (creature)|Pokémon]] to discover and interesting people to learn From along the way—including the cool Professor Kukui and the fun-loving Samson Oak. More new faces will help guide Ash's Alolan adventure, in the form of a group of skilled Trainers—Kiawe, Lana, Mallow, and Sophocles—and a mysterious research assistant called Lillie. Frequent foes [[Team Rocket]] have also made the trip to Alola, looking to swipe some high-powered new Pokémon. But they have some heavy competition on the villainy front: the ruffians of [[Team Skull]], who delight in causing chaos and may have more sinister intentions…''<ref name="Synopsis">[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/pokemon-tv-seasons/season-20/ Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon | Pokémon.com]</ref>

Frequent foes Team Rocket have also made the trip to Alola, looking to swipe some high-powered new Pokémon. But they have some heavy competition on the villainy front: the ruffians of Team Skull, who delight in causing chaos and may have more sinister intentions…[1]
